From Viet Nam Defiance to Boston Surrender

Historically, what separated American society from most other
countries was a healthy distrust of government and a tradition of civil
liberties.

The Bill of Rights is a unique safeguard embodied within the
constitutional structure of a road map for governmental restraint. One
of the most important restrictions placed upon the police powers of the
central government is exemplified in Posse Comitias. The militarization of domestic law enforcement is fundamentally in conflict with individual rights and natural law.
The basic character of the American spirit envisioned narrow
intrusion into the personal affairs of citizens. The federal government
is burdened with thoughtful and precise limitations on its powers for
the essential reason to inhibit the aggressive expansion of despotic
tendencies. Once upon another era, the people of the Republic understood
this vital social construct of control against the destruction of
liberty, by the very government entrusted to preserve the essence of the
union.
Fifty years ago, the nation entered into a morass of a foreign
conflict that altered the very fabric and substance of the post World
War II mentality. As the Viet Nam war expanded, the consciousness of a
youthful generation exploded into a fundamental counter cultural
resistance against the mindset that built the
military-industrial-complex and perpetuated an interventionist global
foreign policy.
The campuses and streets of America were filled with swarms of
dissenters opposing the war and the repression of a burgeoning police
state. The gambit of defiant speeches to civil disobedience saw the
corridors of power crumple in the wake of a nation galvanized against
the Sovietization of our authorities, when the war, was supposedly
fought, to stop the spread of Communism.
Even with the incomplete success in ending the Viet Nam hostilities,
the political loss of that war, did not prevent the uninterrupted march
toward the Orwellian collectivist state, that we now live under and the
oppressive compliance that Homeland Security so aptly represents.
Corrosive incrementalism of totalitarian policies developed in an
environment of gradual apathy, over the last half century. Dissenting
opposition movements, persistently confrontational against the
establishment became less organized and vocal. As a result, institutions
of influence descended into deeper depths of moral corruption, as the
agencies of bureaucratic dominance expanded their reach and scope of
tyranny.
The generations of the post Viet Nam period, developed a
materialistic career oriented motivation, at the expense of abandoning
the search for spiritual and social responsibility, toward their fellow
neighbor and their country. The flower power experienced at the opposite
end of a National Guard bayonet is now replaced with a corporatist
stock option in a company that builds the drone surveillance society.
With the spread of “Politically Correct” urbanity, political debate
has become restrictive, sterile and punitive. The primary ingredient out
of the corporate news media is a filtered mush that leads to a
permanent blockage in the excretion track. These gatekeepers protect
careerist criminal politicians, while serving the global interests of
their Wall Street masters. The seldom-interrupted path towards
government worship homogenization is a main accomplishment of the
systematic dismantling of the principles ofinherent autonomy.
Woefully, the plastic patriots of Bean Town demonstrated their
retardation, from drinking of the dirty water, offered by the storm
troopers. Accepting an arbitrary and capricious “Judge Dredd” martial
law decree for an area wide lockdown is repulsive and antithetical to
the noble tradition of a community, who squared off against the red
coats.
The phony war on terror is actually a contrived policy and false flag
drill exercises, to strip away the last vestiges of constitutional
inhibitions and restraints. The “so called” terrorism that the
government would have you believe threatens the nation, is but an
elaborate deception to justify the methodical enslavement of
unsophisticated and easily fear induced denizens.
As the connection between the patties, blamed for the Boston Marathon
panic, with intelligence communities operatives and fronts become
known, the official FBI version of the investigation unravels.
Deployment of battalions of military vehicles with SWAT assassins poses a
far greater danger to the citizenry than a nineteen-year-old “so
called” Jihadist recruited into the cause by the very government, who
claims to be in charge of keeping us all safe.
With the surrender of our cherished civil liberties to a ruthless DHS
internal police force, martial law is now the rule of the land. Many
Bostonians deserve the shame of their forbearers. Where are protests
with every knock at the door? This precedent does not bode well. It is
doubtful that the populace will resist in mass, when it becomes their
time for transfer to their designated FEMA concentration camp.
That day is coming, and with the lack of courage in the veins of the
mediocre public, the state will face little resistance, when the
financial collapse hits the households of all the government dependent.
This reincarnated empire of a “King George” assault, is seizing the
spirit of the Bunker Hill memorial. Homeland insecurity is designed to
eliminate the Gadsden flag so that it has no place to fly.
The hard-learned lessons of Viet Nam are lost to the self-absorbed
and dumbed down civil servants, who pledge their loyalty to an
illegitimate government, as they sell their souls to an evil empire. The
mere hint of reviving a counter-culture resistance against the
globalist matrix labels one an enemy of the state. Just maybe, too many
people are drinking Sam Adams beer and drunk with lethargy, to heed the
call of Paul Revere.
The underground press was alive and vibrant in the 1960’s. Now the internet is being groomed to be clipped with CISPA.
During the confrontations with authority in a time long ago, the best
within Americans emerged as defenders of core political values, while
pushing the envelope of personal freedom discovery. Now the children of
that generation are in seats of official authority. Lost in the
education process; both in government schools and often in the family
home, is a vigorous suspicion of the abuse of power and a duty to resist
oppression.
Without a renaissance in traditional revolutionary commitment, the
American experiment will end as every other botched and immoral
imperium. The colonial civilization that rose up the original Tea Party
rebels against the Crown has sunk into docile disciples of obedience to
state fascist brutality.
The founding fathers were men of wisdom and courage. The survivors of
the Viet Nam campaign grew in understanding over the decades in the
knowledge that their battle for national survival just began with their
return home. The enemy they fought in the rice paddies were fighting a
civil war. Back on home soil, these veterans learned that their true foe
became a tyrannical government, bent upon destroying the very civil
liberties that every real American pledges upon their allegiance and
sacred honor.
Until people develop the guts to face up to the 911, excuse for the
terrorism fraud and the false security measures designed to destroy
essential legal protections of individual rights, the organized
government terror will continue.
The call goes out to rekindle the defiant spirit and resistance to
the ever-growing police state. The sincere patriot opposes any
bureaucratic and administrative edict that violates your natural rights.
The next time belligerent and suspect authorities demand a lockdown on
your neighborhood, hold a block party. The enforcement mercenaries have
neither the moral mandate nor the practical efficiency to arrest and
sequester the minuteman multitude with the willful daring to “just say no” to tyranny.
Where are the Thoreauvian moralists, willing to defend their local
Walden Ponds in their own communities? The reason the herds of the timid
are so unwilling to challenge the supermax prison that Amerika has
become is due to the fact, that so few have the fortitude to join
the-strike-the-root inspiration that speaks to the character of a
corrupt society.
Soon the infamous disturbed Colonel Kurtz will look like a sane
expedient of military violence as the entire nation is transformed into
an Apocalypse Now before our eyes. The best way to combat the thugs that
violate every universal decency and common law right is to practice
civil disobedience at any opportunity. Resisting oppression is a
necessary step in the liberation of society from subjugation.
First responders need to stand down, when they are commanded to
follow illicit orders. Boston needs to repent from their authoritarian
progressive state worship. As a center of creative cutting edge protest
during the Viet Nam war, the Bostonian Bluebloods of globalist
indoctrination have succeeded into transmuting independent thinkers into
lock step zombies.
Liberation from trumped up jingoism has been a difficult task for
well over a century. At stake now is the very fabric of our own country.
Surrendering our precious heritage, for a delusive and faux sense of
security, plays directly into the hands of the fascists. Protest the
dictatorship of the establishment. Learn from the majesty of dissent,
that when the emperor is exposed as wearing no cloths, he is naked for
all to see. The essential issue is whether the American public has any
eyesight left, and what actions will they undertake to restore their
dignity.
